In the category hard-hitting Indica’s, this, Brains Choice, may be the flagship for the stoney side of his strains. I grew the mother from seeds given to him by a Jamaican man I met in a coffee shop in Noord Holland. The seeds were Lambsbread. A legendary Jamaican strain, strong but not purely sativa. From one of the early seed breeders in the Amsterdam scene. After only one cross, I spent two years monitoring the new F1 for quality and stability. I was so pleased with the results, that I decided to name the hybrid ‘Brains Choice’.
Brains Choice forms a marmalade of white and orange hairs a its flowers mature. The orange comes from Lambsbread, while the White Widow parentage shows through in the frosty proliferation of trichomes on the bud and nearby leaf. The buds cluster along the branches rather than forming one solid cola at the ends.
Strain FAQ
What terpenes contribute to the floral taste?
Humulene and myrcene's earthy and musky overtones enrich the scent. Myrcene's reported potential to intensify THC's effects make it more intriguing.
Why do high-yielding cannabis strains yield so much?
Their genetics are the key to this question! These strains combine sativa's tall growth and high biomass with indica's denser bud production. This genetic base is what enables their high production and explains why they generally have a mix of indica and sativa traits.
Are strains which finish at the End of September more sustainable?
Absolutely. These strains are said to need less water and nutrients since they finish faster. Their low light and heat requirements reportedly make them a greener outdoor production option.
What physical traits do Central Asian cannabis strains share?
Many Central Asian Indica strains have large leaves, modest stature, and thick buds. This shape optimises solar absorption and moisture retention in their native growth environments.
What's the deal with spectral sensitivity in 12/12 photoperiod strains?
It's fascinating to know that 12/12 photoperiod strains may have a favourite colour! Changing the light spectrum during blooming can apparently boost cannabinoid and terpene production, increasing both quality and yield.
